Why Hire a Maid for Elderly Care at Home?
There are many benefits to hiring a maid—and some you may not have even considered yet.
Let’s start with the obvious.
A full-time, live-in elderly care maid gives your loved one the support they need—right at home.
Add comfort, familiarity, and the ability to fit seamlessly into your routine, and it becomes a no-brainer.
That’s why hiring a maid for the elderly is a practical choice for many families in Singapore—especially for adult children managing work, kids, and ageing parents all at once.
Here’s how a full time maid for the elderly can ease your burden:
- Familiar environment – Never underestimate the comfort of home. Seniors feel more at ease in their own surroundings, following their daily routines. A care home, no matter how well-equipped, simply can’t replicate that feeling.
- Peace of mind – With a trusted elderly caregiver present, you can focus on other responsibilities knowing your parent is safe and well looked after. In a fast-paced city like Singapore, even a little extra help goes a long way.
- Cost-effective care – Compared to nursing homes or private nurses, the average price for elderly care in Singapore when it comes to FDWs (including salary, levy, and basic needs) is far more affordable—typically around SGD 800/month.

How Our Maids Support Your Loved One
Every family’s needs are different—and so is every maid for elderly care.
We take all of that into account, and even offer private training programmes to support your FDW’s elderly care skills.
All our helpers are trained to provide gentle, practical support—where it matters most.
Here’s what they can assist with:
- Medication reminders – Making sure your loved one stays on track with daily medication and spotting any changes in health
- Companionship – Whether it’s sharing a quiet moment or encouraging light activity, our maids offer a steady, caring presence. Seniors often feel isolated in our busy city, and having someone to chat with truly makes a difference
- Household upkeep – From preparing meals to keeping the home clean and safe, our domestic helpers trained in looking after the elderly ensure your loved one gets the care they deserve
Each maid to take care of elderly family members is matched with care, so your parent gets support that fits their lifestyle.
Trained & Trustworthy Elderly Care Experienced Helpers
Letting someone into your home to care for a loved one is a big step—and we don’t take that lightly. It’s a decision that involves a lot of trust, and it’s completely normal to wonder whether you’re making the right choice.
At Trinity Pass, we specialise in placing Burmese helpers, and for good reason.
Why Burmese FDWs?
Burmese helpers are known for being respectful, gentle, and genuinely compassionate—especially when it comes to supporting the elderly.
These values are deeply rooted in their culture and upbringing, where caring for elders is seen as a duty and an honour.
Don’t underestimate the importance of that. These are exactly the qualities that matter when you’re trusting someone with elderly care.
Here’s what makes our elderly care maid placements stand out:
- Trained in eldercare – Many of our FDWs have completed formal courses in areas like first aid, safe transfers, and dementia support. For those new to Singapore, we guide them through adapting to your family's care style.
- Practical experience – Every helper to take care of elderly family members has supported seniors either professionally or within their own household—so the role isn’t unfamiliar.
- Easy communication – Most of our domestic workers speak basic English. With a little patience, they’re fast learners and can pick up key words in Mandarin or dialect. This helps with day-to-day understanding and builds stronger connection and trust.
- Warm and reliable – Burmese helpers naturally treat seniors with patience and dignity. Many of our clients tell us their helper quickly becomes like part of the family—and that’s feedback we hear time and time again.
Of course, the cost matters too—and understandably so.
The good news? Hiring a Burmese maid for elderly care is often more affordable than you might expect.
Salaries typically range from SGD 450–500/month for first-time FDWs, and SGD 600–700/month for those with experience.
⚠️ Note: The SGD 450–500/month range applies only to FDWs who are completely new to Singapore. While this reflects common starting rates, it should not be used as a benchmark to underpay. Helpers deserve fair salaries based on their duties, working hours, and overall well-being. Underpayment can lead to poor retention, dissatisfaction, or compliance issues.
Transparent Costs & Government Subsidies (Maid Levy for Elderly)
We believe in being upfront about costs—so you can plan with clarity and confidence.
Here’s what to expect when hiring a full-time elderly care maid:
- Placement fees – This includes the agency fee, work permit application and issuance, insurance, and medical check-ups. We’ll walk you through everything—no hidden surprises.
- Living expenses – You’ll need to provide meals (or a food allowance of around SGD 200/month) and suitable accommodation. A spare room is ideal, but some families have the helper sleep nearby. Either way, it’s important to make her feel comfortable from day one to build trust.
Optional extras – This may include toiletries, pocket money, and airfare for home leave (though note that travel to Myanmar may not always be feasible due to the current situation). You may also choose to sponsor extra training—such as private eldercare lessons, which we offer in-home for convenience.
Understanding the Maid Levy for the Elderly
The standard maid levy is SGD 300/month.
But if your helper is caring for a Singaporean aged 67 or above in the same household, you’ll likely qualify for the maid levy concession for elderly—reducing the cost to just SGD 60/month.
It’s a meaningful subsidy that lightens the cost of help with care for the elderly.
We’ll guide you through the eligibility and application process during your consultation.

Can They Handle Special Needs Like Dementia?
Many of our helpers have hands-on experience with seniors facing dementia, diabetes, stroke recovery, or mobility issues. While they’re not nurses, they are trained in safe handling, communication techniques, and basic care routines. For specialised medical needs, we can advise on supplementing with professional services.
